Hey!
August is behind us and September is falling into place. This means school routines are becoming normal, college & NFL football is in the air, people are making last trips to the lake & swims through their pools, and we as a youth ministry are hoping to find our rhythm as well. One thing that hasn’t changed is the “Jay Leno” show, isn’t that just the Tonight Show but earlier? Should be called the Evening Show.. okay, apologies, my sleepiness makes me ramble.
- Big “Yeah God” to the news that Briana was given a cancer free report after her surgery to remove the melanoma cells. We have many folks in our community who are affected by cancer, so as we celebrate Briana & her family, we want to continually lift up those who don’t always get great news.
- Thanks to everyone who has been coming, showing up to help out with youth events the last few week weeks. Its been a real blessing to have such a great group of folks to be in ministry with.
- Parents Meeting: This Sunday in Genesis Hall, from 4:15 (get there around 4 to look at papers and stuff) till 5:45 with a break in focus at 5pm from Youth Stuff to NWG Choir.
- Basketball Players wanted to form a HFUMC Church League Team (Grades 9-12). Registration taking place NOW! Call or text 615 513-9170 or email merrilee.wineinger(at)hfumc.org by Thursday, September, 24 if interested.

- Seeking out few good Security Guards to watch the Tent, Tables, Chairs overnight from Saturday to Sunday leading to our “Spirit Days” Celebration.
Thanks again everyone for your support of the ministries & especially to Erin, myself, & now Brooks! He is doing great, he reached the 7lb 11oz mark this week & got to meet some folks from our youth community when he made a surprise appearance to the consignment sale.
